    Greetings from Hamilton

    Brad from Hamilton here. Word on the street this is a great source of hunting related information, so dropping in to check it out.
    Current conundrum is .17 HMR v .22 mag. Intended use I hares 100 -150 meters out.
    Happy to hear your thoughts and sway me either way.

    I'm the one that got out!
    Unfortunately the hunting isn't as good up this way though.
    Pengy and Shearer like this.

    Welcome to the forum. For sure. Lots of helpful information here.
    My opinion, 17HMR for small game at those distances.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Like for like standard ammo and supressor, is there a significant noise level difference?
    That's probably going to be the determining factor for me as dont want to be making too much of a scene on the land I have access to.
    Otherwise, there seems to be decent arguments each way.
